 <\/p>\n

This is about two brothers, born 13 months apart in the ’70s. <\/p>\n

The elder of the two became an advocate of Star Wars<\/i>. Actually, advocacy is too weak a word. He became a Star Wars<\/i> fanatic, to the point that to this day he still buys light sabers. Invite him to a masquerade party and he’ll find a Darth Vader costume.<\/p>\n

The younger of the two went a slightly different direction, as brothers so close in age are wont to do. His passion became Disney…anything Disney. He grew up wishing upon stars, and even got a job at Disney World<\/a>. There, he met his wife-to-be.<\/p>\n

Despite their fanatical differences, today they are as close as two brothers living 1,500 miles apart can be. Next year, however, they may become even closer.<\/p>\n

\"image001\"<\/a>Star Wars<\/i> is going on a Disney<\/a> cruise.<\/p>\n

Maybe they will, too.<\/p>\n

When the Disney Dream<\/a> emerges from dry-dock in October, it will have a Star Wars<\/i>-themed area added to its Oceaneer Club<\/i>, including its own Millennium Falcon. It’s for kids 3 to 12, so the elder brother may have a little trouble sneaking in but, hey, he does have a light saber. The refurbished Dream’s first cruise will be October 26 from Port Canaveral<\/a> to the Bahamas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There’s another Star Wars<\/i> option (and likely more in the planning stages)…<\/p>\n

For at least eight sailing in the first four months of 2016, there will be a Star Wars Day At Sea<\/i> on the Disney Fantasy<\/a>, during a one-week cruise to the Western Caribbean. Passengers will have the opportunity to experience The Force in a galaxy far far away, to meet characters like Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Darth himself, to participate in Stars Wars<\/i> activities and to watch the only at-sea screenings of Episode VII.<\/i> If you don’t known what Episode VII<\/i> is, then you also don’t know anybody with December 18 blocked off on their movie calendars to be among the millions planning to watch the first on-land screening of what is this year’s most-anticipated big-screen event.<\/p>\n

For the elder brother, the magnet at sea is Star Wars<\/i>. For the younger…Disney Dream…Disney Fantasy…Disney anything.<\/p>\n

Big Brother has an added incentive: He never did forgive his parents for selling his Millennium Falcon in a garage sale.<\/p>\n
